Both are foliated metamorphic rocks in which individual minerals can be seen with the naked eye. The difference is that gneiss is generally more coarsely crystalline and has color banding and schist smells bad.
Gneiss and schist are the most common metamorphic rocks. Gneiss is a foliated rock usually composed of Quartz and Feldspar. Schist is also foliated, but it's mineral composition vaires. :)

schist
schist and gneiss arefoliated and in gneiss you can see the bands.
No. Phyllite can metamorphose into schist and then into gneiss.
Gneiss can be formed by the metamrphism of either granite or schist.
Gneiss may form from either granite or schist.
Gneiss could eventually form from granite or from schist.
Both are metamophic Rock. Gneiss is formed from Granite. Schist from other types it depends on what you are planning on drilling. Also it depends on what type of Schist. Gneiss would probably be the better choice though.
Gneiss may come from either granite or schist.
Four rocks formed by metamorphic grade are slate, phyllite, schist and gneiss. Slate and pnyllite are low grade; schist is a medium grade; and gneiss is a high grade rock.
Strong metals and jewelry.
Foliated rocks, and in particular: * Shale * Schist * Gneiss
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock and its parent rock (protolith) could be a granite or schist.
